Hello, friends!

Who would have thought I’d ever reach this milestone?  Certainly not me, but I am so grateful to all of you.  You’ve stayed with me through my ups and downs, and my absences, never leaving me behind.  I can’t thank you enough for that.

Today, when I logged into WordPress, I discovered I had over 300,000 views!!! Over 102,000 visitors and 4,232 followers! I am overwhelmed by these numbers.

Thank you, so very much, all of you, for accepting me into your blogging families, and your lives.  I’m on Cloud 9 right now.   ❤

HI there! It’s Thursday in July and that means I’m over at Sally’s Smorgasbord. She’s been digging in my archives and today, she’s chosen my photography to share with you. Thanks so very much, Sally! ❤

Smorgasbord Blog Magazine

Welcome to the  Posts from Your Archives, where bloggers put their trust in me. In this series, I dive into a blogger’s archives and select four posts to share here to my audience.

If you would like to know how it works here is the original post:https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/2019/04/28/smorgasbord-posts-from-your-archives-newseries-pot-luck-and-do-you-trust-me/

This is the third post from the archives of poet Dorinda Duclos…and for something slightly different, some wonderful photographs from a Wordless Wednesday post in 2016.

Long days of hunting.

No rest, for the mighty king;

Family to feed.

When they are satiated,

I watch him sleep, peacefully.

You are the center of your universe

Making things, so small, much worse

Always with a scornful look or sneer

To even those you once held dear

While time is fleeting, passing you by

All you think of is an eye for an eye

How silly it is to go on living like this

Instead of kindness, you choose to diss

Those who gave their precious time

Who, in your eyes, are quite begrimed

This I offer, though you won’t hear

My words, no matter, are very clear

Seek His peace, and hope, and light

Then learn to love instead of fight…

 

Author’s note: I have been struggling to get through health issues as well as family issues, but I’m over it.  I don’t mean to sound harsh, but for my own healing and well being, I have to move aside.  These words are the final pouring out of a very hard decision that was, unfortunately, inevitable. Thank you for reading…

I tried to plan a trip, for just my family and me

Until the neighbors got wind, of all our plans

Now, everyone wants to go, what a calamity!

Not everything fit in the wagon, so we made a caravan
